Did they REALLY get a $3.13m exception? That seems excessive, given it's more than Ike made. Maybe he added the 25% + 100k that the TPE would...
He got hurt. Turned his ankle or something. I'm watching the game but not paying that close of attention. Ed O.
The NBA season ends? After the Finals is the draft. After the draft is free agency. Then summer league. Then preseason. Then the regular...
